Backcountry Skiing & Snowboarding Trail Reviews

“Be aware of the heavily rooted trail in spots. This is a beautiful hike or overnighter. If going to the look out you will be climbing a couple ladders to the peak. The ladders are strapped onto to side of the rock but not exactly straight. Not for the faint of heart. However, the views are amazing. There are plenty of gorgeous views along the way. We camped in tin can gap tucked out of the wind. Bears are often seen but not bothersome. Trail has snow toward the top most of the year. ”

“Not a really long hike but the elevation gain is no joke! It's challenging but supremely worth the tough challenge. The views are beyond stunning and majestic. If you are lucky you will see mountain goats, which is a total treat. It is just an incredible hike, so worth it!”

“The Quandary Peak Trail was surprisingly more difficult than I thought. After leaving tree line, the boulder field and scree were monotonous and tricky . My entire family was able to reach the summit at 10:45 am on Fri., July 21st. ( ages ranges from 10 - 60) The most difficult part Quandary Peak was going downhill after reaching the summit.
Carpe Diem, Craig Marshall”

“An epic hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. It is tough and definitely not for the faint of heart! We hiked to Boulder Field on the first day and camped, then went to the summit. I loved this as a backpacking/overnight trip, but anyone who hikes this in one day is my hero. It is SO amazing.”

“This is a tough hike, so steep! There is a good amount of shade from trees along the way, which is a major plus in the summer heat. There are several trail options here, too. Definitely a work out but the amazing views are worth it. ”
